Reborn as a doctor, he takes revenge and ruthlessly punishes the scum.

"Is this what you meant by 'a good show'?"

The owner of that gaze also had a voice filled with deep resentment and malice.

"Miss Situ, this...this...I didn't expect Bai Ziyu to...Judging from this situation, Bai Ziyu seems to have feelings for this Yu Shuyan..."

Zhou Guoye bent over, her lowered eyes flashing with unease and resentment.

Situ Yue interrupted him in an icy voice:

"It seems like something~"

Zhou Guoye's heart skipped a beat, and she secretly regretted her carelessness. How could she have forgotten Situ Yue's determination to have Bai Ziyu?

His head drooped a little more, and he hurriedly said:

"Young Master Bai is a man of integrity and upright character. He must only think highly of Yu Shuyan because of Lady Yuan. Otherwise, how could he possibly give a second glance to a mere abandoned woman like her?"

Situ Yue's expression remained unchanged, her eyes filled with a chilling coldness as she stared at Yu Shuyan.

“They’re all sluts. Yuan Niangzi is a slut too. After we deal with Yu Shuyan, we’ll deal with that slut. If you dare to flirt and seduce men, you should be prepared to be ridden by a thousand men and crushed by ten thousand.”

The chill in the voice made Zhou Guoye's lowered eyes flicker involuntarily.

Situ Yue's cold gaze swept over Zhou Guoye:

"You can't just rely on these methods, can you?"

Zhou Guoye hurriedly said:

"Of course, I never intended for this useless mother and daughter to actually harm Yu Shuyan. They were merely bait to divert the Yu family's attention and make my actions easier. The real killing move, which would take the entire Yu family down with them, was yet to come."

Situ Yue's eyes were fixed coldly on Zhou Guoye, her voice full of impatience and warning:

"Zhou Guoye, you're just a son of a concubine. If it weren't for the fact that you're somewhat sensible, you'd never have a chance to get close to the Prime Minister's family. But... I hope you seize this opportunity and don't disappoint me."

Zhou Guoye cursed inwardly:

She pretends to be gentle, virtuous, and dignified, but behind that facade lies a sinister and vicious face.

His expression grew even more respectful:

"Miss Situ, rest assured, my people have already slipped the items in amidst the chaos. Now, just wait and see, I'm going to make the entire Yu family my sister!"

At this point, he instantly realized he had said the wrong thing and anxiously observed Situ Yue's eyes.

Seeing that she didn't seem to care, he continued:

"Just you wait and see how I make sure the entire Yu family is wiped out."

Situ Yue was secretly pleased:

She is a favored daughter of heaven; as long as her father is around, who would dare to displease her?

Even if he knew that his sister was killed by the Prime Minister's mansion, so what? He still had to be like a dog, at her beck and call, just to amuse her.

Too lazy to pay him any attention, Situ Yue's sinister gaze fell on Yu Shuyan again, a venomous smile playing on her lips:

"You wretch, since you dare to dream such things, then pay the price!"

He turned around, took one last deep look at Zhou Guoye, and then walked away.

Zhou Guoye bowed respectfully to her until she was out of sight, then turned coldly and gave instructions to the follower who had appeared behind him—the very man he had ordered to put the things into the Yu family's house:

Are you absolutely sure it will all work?

The lackey nodded obsequiously:

"Don't worry, Master. Everything has been arranged."

Zhou Guoye nodded in satisfaction, then glanced at the Yu family members standing in front of the door, her eyes full of mockery:

"Now that everything is arranged, let's proceed according to plan."

The follower nodded immediately, glancing at the Yu family members with a mixture of pity and greed, before quickly leaving with Zhou Guoye.

"Shuyan, you and Young Master Bai?"

Fu Yuqin looked at Yu Shuyan, who was staring thoughtfully in the direction Bai Ziyu had left. Unable to resist, she asked her a question.

Yu Shuyan snapped out of her reverie and smiled faintly:

"Mother, we can be considered acquaintances."

Fu Yuqin frowned:

"Acquaintances? Just acquaintances? If they are just acquaintances, how could Young Master Bai have appeared here by such coincidence and even helped our Yu family out of this predicament?"

Unconsciously, Yu Shuyan thought of Bai Ziyu's gentle eyes, which seemed to see through everything.

Seeing her lost in thought, Fu Yuqin couldn't help but press her for more information:

"Shuyan, Young Master Bai, he..."

Yu Shuyan, however, interrupted her with a faint smile:

"Alright, Mother, please stop making wild guesses. Young Master Bai is a man of integrity and refined character, while I am just a divorced woman returning home. Mother, please don't overthink things!"

Fu Yuqin was taken aback, and couldn't help but laugh at herself for her earlier worry:

She naturally hoped that her daughter could find happiness again.

After all, in the Dayong Dynasty, it was permissible for a woman to remarry after a divorce.

However, she did not want Yu Shuyan to be hurt again.

After all, Bai Ziyu's status and position were far beyond what Yu Shuyan, a divorced merchant's daughter, could match. She didn't want her daughter to get hurt again, so she couldn't help but want to remind her.

That's why she stood between Yu Shuyan and Bai Ziyu just now.

Unexpectedly, Yu Shuyan immediately understood her meaning, and a feeling of pity arose in her heart:

"Shuyan, that's not what Mother meant, Mother just..."

Yu Shuyan laughed:

"Alright, Mother, what are you thinking? I have absolutely no feelings for Young Master Bai. All I want in this life is to stay with Little Dumpling and be with you all."

Seeing her smile so openly, Fu Yuqin felt a surge of heartache mixed with tenderness, and couldn't help but say:

"Shuyan, actually, if you meet the right person, you~"

However, Wu Manting reached out and pulled her back at just the right moment, interrupting her:

"Mom, alright, let's go inside first. Look, Moyan is back too."

Yu Shuyan exchanged a grateful glance with Wu Manting:

She really didn't want to dwell on this issue.

So, he walked straight towards Yu Moyan:

"Mother, my brother will be staying at the academy for a while now. Let's hurry inside and prepare some supplies for him."

Yu Moyan didn't hear what they were saying afterward. She was pulled by Yu Shuyan and walked into the room in a daze.

Fu Yuqin sighed softly and gave Wu Manting a reproachful look:

"You~"

Umanting smiled gently:

"Mother, let's go inside!"

The two of them went inside together.

After they left, at the entrance of another alley, a figure flashed and disappeared instantly.
